Practicum Sponsors Commend Student Consulting Work

This summer more than 60 1st year MSEM students worked on 15 MSEM consulting projects – also known as the Team Practicum. Of the 15 projects, initial sponsor evaluation results show impactful results. On average the teams received high scores on all evaluation questions.

– Overall project team’s performance (4.14 out of 6-pt. scale)
– Importance of the project results to their organization (4.3 out of 5-pt scale)
– Satisfaction with the project results (4.6 out of 5-pt. scale)

Being a sponsor for the TGI Practicum project was a wonderful experience. The team could not have been more professional and responsive. Their energy and intelligence was apparent from the outset and consistent all summer long.– Caroline Carney, Registered Dietitian, Good Measures

This was a difficult project because by the very nature of business planning for a new technology the path is not well-defined. The Tufts Gordon Institute MSEM team took the first step in formalizing a true business plan for the commercialization of our robotic technology. The act of having bright people think, plan and dedicate themselves to a course of action is invaluable. Their work will serve as the foundation for the next steps in the commercialization of what we believe to be an exciting, revolutionary technology.
